Description:

Our proposed session on “Atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (INPs) and ice formation processes in clouds” will be part of the Symposium on Aerosol–Cloud–Climate Interactions. We are looking forward to scientific contributions across all aspects of laboratory and field based INP research, including long-term monitoring of INPs, intensive field INP observations at the ground and using vertical profiling, and studies investigating secondary ice formation processes. We are also inviting contributions bridging the gaps between experimental work and modeling, e.g., through the development of new parameterizations for INPs in the atmosphere and dedicated aerosol closure studies, as well as atmospheric ice formation modeling across scales.
